Dwayne Douglas Johnson was born on May 2, 1972, to Ata and Rocky Johnson in Hayward, Calif. Although he was born into a family of wrestlers -- both his dad, Rocky, and his maternal grandfather made careers of the sport -- Dwayne pursued a different hobby in high school. He was a football star, and his athletic prowess got him a full scholarship at the University of Miami.
